|
|
| Just bought a 2008 xD, and I'm looking for a set of window vent visors. Mats.com doesn't list the xD on their web site, JC Whitney doesn't have them, anyone know where I can get a set so I can leave my windows down a bit in the hot Florida sun? |

| Not yet. Most third party companies that manufacture parts don't even have the xD listed yet... which sucks. I'm waiting for weathertech to release theirs. |

Thanx, folks. Oh well, if Weathertech/mats.com e-mails me back I'll post the details.
EDITED:
Should have checked e-mail first! Here's what they said:

Good news - It's available along with some other nice JDM pieces:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-2008-TOYOTA-IST-SCION-xD-DOOR-WINDOW-VISORS-VISOR_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742Q2em153Q2el1262QQcategoryZ33656QQihZ023QQitemZ360061974480
Bad news - with cheap US$ and expensive shipping it'll cost you $300+
So, depends how bad you want it.
The seller, Masahiro Tabata is awesome. Even though his English is far from perfect, he was extremely helpful and really quick to answer all my questions.
My item traveled from Japan to US in 3 days !!!
:bow: to Masahiro-san ! |

| damn, i didn't even pay close to that for my side view mirrors. i guess it's a sacrifice to get it asap. if i break down what a i spent i think it was just over a $125 or so. as for the mirrors, blue tint helps cut down the glare. but i'll definitely bookmark that dude in case i can't get what i need. |

| Hey, just thought i'd let all you guys know that Auto Ventshade now makes a 4pc ventshade set for the xD, just ordered mine from buyautotruckaccessories.com but you can find them anywhere. 50 bucks is what i gave for mine plus shipping. I've been waiting forever for these to come out and i had to actually see another xD with them on there and came home and sure enough they were available. |

I'd be careful of those. They claim to be the iST window visors but no where on the visors do you see the "iST" emblem. |

I agree with you Chels, the IST ones simply can not be sold here at that price.
But, hey - not everyone are as picky as me and you ... and the price is an issue for the most people.
What are those for anyway ? ))) |

Not bad price, but yea, theres isnt an Ist emblem at the top of the front windows.
They help keep rain from dripping in the window and decrease air noise at highway speeds. |
